4 Reasons WHY mums NEED the Philips SmartPro Compact robot vacuum cleaner!

Tired of dusting the floor and keeping it hair and crumb free? Did you know that dust in the average household has more than 2,000 different types of fungi/mould and 7,000 types of bacteria? And that, your living room carpet is about 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat? Yikes!

Fret not, the NEW Philips SmartPro Compact Robot Vacuum Cleaner is here, and trust us, she's a damn good helper!

We at theAsianparent had a chance to try it out, and here are 4 reasons why we think every mum needs the Philips SmartPro Compact Robot Vacuum Cleaner:

• Time saving: Spend less time on household chores and more time with the kids. Simply set a cleaning schedule, and let the robot vacuum cleaner work its magic. Tada! A clean home awaits you!

What's more, the Philips SmartPro Compact robot vacuum cleaner now cleans 2 times faster due to its TriActive XL nozzle with extra-large width. The Smart Detection System enables the robot to optimise its cleaning strategy.

• Hassle free setup and user friendly : It's super easy to set up and schedule. It even offers a 24 hour scheduling function, so you can program your next cleaning session 24 hours in advance!

And the cutest part? When the battery of the Philips robot vacuum cleaner is almost empty, it will automatically go to the docking station to charge itself! A

For the record, it's powerful battery has a longer lifetime, and a shorter charging time than standard batteries. This new robot vacuum cleaner runs up to 130 min.

• Bye bye fur: For those with pets, this robot vacuum cleaner does a very good job of cleaning up all the fur. Ditto for those with kids who spill biscuit crumbs or drop food on the floor all the time. A slim 6 cm design, and infrared sensors ensures that no space or corner is missed, whether it is under a couch or around the table legs.

• Remote controlled:  The remote control allows you to control the Philips SmartPro Compact robot vacuum cleaner from a distance and perform several actions. You can tell the robot to start and stop, guide it to any direction, change the cleaning path or ask the robot to go back to the docking station.

The only tiny glitch we found was, when there was a lot of wiring on the floor, this little helper seemed to get a bit stuck. And sometimes, she showed a tendency to move randomly, and clean the same few spots repeatedly. Otherwise, she's a beauty and pretty awesome at what she does!

So, what are you waiting for? The Philips SmartPro Compact robot vacuum cleaner (RRP $799) is available at selected electronic stores, major departmental stores and authorised dealers.
